1 John 4:1-6 "Jesus the God-Man"
1-3
A lot of people are willing to say Jesus was human. Many are willing to admit He was God. But the numbers slim down when the discussion becomes How much human, and How much God was He. The answer is full for both questions. Jesus is fully God and fully man. 100% in both categories, not split 50%-50%. Not half and half. Fully God and fully Man. How cool is that? It is because Jesus was fully God, humbled Himself, became man, died a death on a cross, and was risen from the dead that we can live in Him. He is our human representative. He lived the perfect life we could not, died the death we deserved, and the wrath that we deserve was upon Him.
4-6
Therefore, it is only those who trust that Jesus became flesh, died for their sins and rose from the dead that can have life and can be called children of God. Those who deny Jesus, are of the world, and are not children of God, but children of wrath. The question we need to continually ask ourselves is "Do I really know who Jesus is, and do I KNOW Him?"
